I called American Conditioned Air. Someone in the office I assume fielded the call, took my contact information, and advised that a tech would get back to me. The office didn't handle the scheduling. The service manager did that and they were on a call. They had no estimate when I would receive a callback.
I waited an hour then called another company because if the company was to busy to get back to me during peak demand then what would happen if I had a problem? I wish I would have stayed with that thought.
During the call to another vendor, the service manager called and offered a significant price reduction and immediate availability. I took him up on the offer. The only reason they got my business was dead president logic.
The truck rolled up 25 minutes later. That was the end of any chance of a good customer experience.
The capacitor for the condenser fan/compressor was out of specification and I had replaced the capacitor prior to calling. I had also replaced the drainage tubing for the condenser coils as well as replacing the weather beaten insulation on the condenser line outside. I did as much as I could prior to contacting anyone.
I realize that intermittent problems are the hardest to solve because they can only be properly troubleshot when the unit is exhibiting the behavior causing the unit to fail. So I was onboard and aligned with American's personnel by virtue of science, logic, and linear troubleshooting prior to the tech's arrival. Long story made short is that the technician lost my confidence by
a) not advising me of the logic they were using to arrive at their conclusions
b) insisting that I recognize their quality as a technician by virtue of their service time as a technician. I judge by quality of work performed, sorry
c) patronizing my efforts prior to their arrival. The tech stated "you kind of tried to help".
d) advising they couldn't complete the job because they didn't have the part they claimed I needed on their truck. The part was a condenser pump and I am sure that he didn't want to replace the pump because he wasn't confident that the issue would be resolved.
This company needs to learn the meaning of service. The tech alienated me, the home owner, the person that lived where he was visiting almost immediately. I regretted my decision within 5 minutes of American's arrival. I can't recall ever being so dissatisfied with a repair person.
I would recommend that everyone steer clear of this business because of those reasons. At one point the tech was waving around a card displaying their certification qualifications. Such qualifications mean nothing if you don't deliver service first and foremost. My experience with the service manager and this business was anything but service oriented. I perceive the truck roll fee was a waste of money. I will not call this company again and recommend you do the same.
"1st - We stand behind the Carrier product 100% which is an American company and this unit is manufactured in the U.S. All manufacturers may get parts from all parts of the world. We understand the frustrations that may come about when everything doesn't go perfect. This system was installed in the early spring when conditions are not favorable to get an A/C system adjusted with accuracy, therefore there may be times when return trips are needed to adjust the system. When the weather is warm enough to put a load on the system and bring the "numbers" up to parameters that allow accurate refrigerant charging and air flow adjustments we will at times have to return to adjust some systems. Not every system installed will be off far enough to need it. But, if it is, we are always willing and have the skills to do so. No qualms and no delays. This complaint demonstrates that in her statements that we returned and did so until all issues were resolved. We will always stand behind our work and the product we install. Yes, one may be able to get "energy star" rated equipment for a "good" price, but it is what we consider inferior equipment that does not meet the quality of equipment standards that we wish to be associated with, or have to continually repair. This rating is rather baffling to us especially since the customer has since signed up on our annual service plan to maintain her new system. Yes, her new system did need adjusting and a Thermostat replacement, but we have always maintained that a good company is the one that makes everything right for the customer. We are that company."
